The Milwaukee Bucks signed their first round draft pick, Jabari Parker to a four-year contract worth $22.3 million. The last two years are team options, which is standard in rookie-scale deals for first-round draft picks.

Parker will make $4.9 million in his first NBA season and $5.2 million in his second season. The final two years of the deal would pay $5.4 million and $6.8 million.

The Bucks were looking to wrap up the deal with Parker prior to the team’s first summer league practice this week in Las Vegas.

The Bucks will face the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7pm on Friday night.

Wolters and former Wisconsin guard Jordan Taylor are the point guards on the Bucks summer league roster.

Bucks coach Jason Kidd said Wolters will be fine and hopefully ready to go on Friday.

Next Friday’s Summer League opening matchup against Cleveland will feature a matchup of the top two picks in the draft, Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker.

The Bucks will continue their opening round with games against Phoenix on Sunday, July 13th and Utah on Monday, July 14th. Following the opening three games, the participating teams will be seeded for the single-elimination tournament that will culminate in a championship game on July 21. A consolation round will be held for teams failing to advance, ensuring that each team is guaranteed to play as least five games.

The Bucks will hold three days of practice, July 8, 9 and 10 before taking off for Las Vegas.

Jordan Taylor hit 6 of 10 from the field and 3 of 5 from beyond the arc to add 17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and no turnovers in 36 minutes. Taylor also helped hold Montana’s Will Cherry to 9 points, 7 below his average.

In the end, the Badgers as a team hit 52% from 3-point range (10 of 19).

Even Mike Bruesewitz, who was 0 for his last 14 from beyond the arc over an 8-game stretch, hit 2 of 3 in the win yesterday.

63-60 win over Ohio State in Columbus on Sunday, the Badgers are back home to host Minnesota at the Kohl Center tonight.

Wisconsin (21-8, 10-6 Big Ten) is looking to lock down 4th place in the Big Ten standings, which will earn them a first round bye in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament.

Minnesota is headed in the opposite direction. In fact, since the Badgers beat the Gophers 68-61 in overtime in the Twin Cities on Feb. 9th. Since that game, the Gophers have lost four more in-a-row, which makes for a 5-game losing streak.
